Comment 1:  A number of people on this list - myself included – would
argue that the Laws need to be applied in a consistent manner.  I
don't give a rat's ass whether the De Wael School holds true or,
alternatively whether the more conventional interpretation should take
precedence.  However, as a player I consider any situation where one
set of Directors will rule X and a second group of Directors will rule
Y deeply problematic.  (It's even worse when their rulings require
that I adopt different behavioral codes)
 
 
AG : allow a moderate DWist to interject a word here.
 
What Herman keeps saying us is that, according to the present set of laws,
the situation after MI is exactly of the kind you tell us you abhor (and
rightly so !). 
Whenever both possible reactions (here, knowingly creating MI or knowingly
creating UI) are badly wrong according to the book, it means that TDs (or
ACs) might well disagree (and agree to disagree) about what the right course
would have been, if any, with the ill effects you mention. Some, taking the
book litterally, might even hold both actions are wrong.
 
In such a case, it should be obvious that none of the two actions is illicit
per se. That's what the law in general says. Nobody can be considered at
fault for trying to avoid some offence, even if it creates some other
offence of comparable proportions. Isn't that obvious ?
 
 
Best regards
 
  Alain
